By the use of a window seat construction herein set forth it is manifest that the window washer may conveniently be supported on the outside of a window for washing the window panes and the like.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying the invention into effect without departing from the purview of the invention. I, therc-' fore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction herein set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications which would come within the scope of the'appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is: r

1; A window seat including two sections adjustable relatively to each other, means adapted to engage the side j ambs of a window construction for supporting said sections from said jambs, and adjustable means for connecting said sections to the sill of said window construction, said adjustable means lncludmg spaced members havlng end portions bent to provide hooks for hooked enj gagement with the edge of the sill and provided with elongated slots, and bolt members 7 4. In a device of the character stated,

substantially L-shaped supporting members, rails extended between said supporting members in spaced apart relation, the rails extending between certain of said supporting members being disposed to extend between the rails extended between other of said supporting members whereby two interfitted frame members will be defined, a hingedly mounted member secured to certain of said rails, means 'engageable by a-portion of said hingedly to engage the jambs of a window construction to connect said frame members thereto, and means for ad ustably connecting said frame members to the sill of said window con- ,i

struction. V j

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
